Divisions (run-on sentence OK, direct verbiage from Scripture/Principles are Aims for each Division – a truth about God, a truth about man, a truth about God’s relationship to man):

1.Abraham’s Descendants (Genesis 25:1-18)

Principle:  God gives His people descendants to pass on a spiritual legacy.

2.Isaac’s Family Line (Genesis 25:19-34)

Principle:  God gives His people a spiritual birthright.

3.Isaac’s treaty with Abimelek, Isaac’s wells and Esau’s wives (Genesis 26:1-35)

Principle:  God gives His people opportunities to be blessed and a blessing.

4.

Principle:  

 

 

Subject Sentence (10-word sentence with proper structure showing exactly where you are in Scripture):

Abraham dies, Esau sells his birthright, Isaac swears an oath.

 

Aim (“To Cause My Audience To…” Know, See, Learn, Understand, etc.):

TCMATK God’s will is done – His story is told – through the lives of His people.

 

Application (not yes or no question.  Meant to bring about heart change):

1.What (heart change) transformation do I want my loved ones to experience because of my current love for God?

What legacy of Jesus Christ am I leaving those who come after me?

What needs to change for me to leave a godly legacy for those in my sphere of influence?

2.What needs to change for me to have a greater respect for what God has given me (my spiritual birthright)?

Where am I “despising my (spiritual) birthright”?

Where does my thinking need transformation regarding protecting my spiritual birthright?

3.What needs to change in my heart to keep me from duplicating sins of the past?

With whom am I making treaties and how does this impact my witness for Christ?

4.

 

The Big Idea (author’s main purpose in writing; the one thing all the other things in the passage is about; if you couldn’t talk about it, you would still understand the passage is trying to convey this):

 

God has a purpose for all people.

God’s will is worked through all people.

Homiletics Training: Content

Homiletics .   By definition, “homiletic” is the art of preaching or writing sermons.   I think we would all agree that our pastors study the Bible thoroughly to deliver sermons every Sunday to their congregations.   The beautiful news is that every child of God can use this discipline to study the Bible for themselves. As a member of Bible Study Fellowship (BSF) Leadership, part of my required preparation each week is to prepare homiletics for the passage we are studying.   BSF offers an engaging seminar on how to use this method to study the Scriptures.   I’ve taken the seminar several times under two different leaders and I’ve learned something new every time I’ve attended.   I’ve also been doing the process of homiletics for over ten years and I can say that there is no better teacher than the Holy Spirit in this process!   So keep practicing.   Keep sharing and discussing.   I’ve been posting my homiletics on this blog for quite a...
